Who had a really bad week? Let us review:
BILLY GILLISPIE: He lost one of the most coveted jobs in college basketball. The University of Kentucky put foot to backside, sending him flying out the door before the school had a replacement lined up. He didn’t win enough. His interpersonal skills need some work, too. Many creative people had fun at his expense. Click on our earlier post for a summary of all that fun.
DALLAS POLICE: Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats rolled through a red light, after checking the intersection, while racing to the hospital to see his dying mother-in-law. What happened next was most unfortunate. Now the officer involved is under intense scrutiny. This may not have been his first overzealous act.
ROMAIN MESNIL: Nobody likes getting fired by Nike. For track stars like this French pole vaulter, sponsorship deals give them the means to compete. But losing the Swoosh is no excuse for, say, running naked through the streets of Paris while trying to attract a new backer. Maybe it’s just a French thing.
JIM CALHOUN: The UConn coach is headed back to the Final Four, which is great. But the NCAA is sniffing around his door, apparently with just cause. This is not so good. The Huskies coach may retire than deal with all this. Click our earlier post for details. SOUTH AMERICAN SOCCER LEGENDS: There has been way too much bickering between these guys. Allegations of drug abuse and homosexual flings don’t further the sport. Can’t they all just get along? JOHN MCENROE: Bobo isn’t overly sympathetic to rich people who fall prey to an art scam. If you’re rich enough to buy art, Bobo can’t relate to your problems. Bobo still eats Wonder Bread. But this irritable ex-tennis star got stiffed but good. SHAWN JOHNSON: An armed crazy guy is stalking the former Olympic gymnast. This does not make for a particularly good week. Is a new series “Dancing with the Whack Jobs” next?
TERRELL OWENS: He is off to a good start in Buffalo. First he skipped voluntary team conditioning work, then he whined about his departure from Dallas. This can’t possibly end well for the Bills. He could end up in exile, doing crunches on a snow drift while TV reporters pepper him with questions. Some some long-suffering Bills fans are understandably concerned.
